#Spectember Day 15: Arboreal Crocodilian
In a world where Crocodylomorphs are dominant over both Mammals and Dinosaurs, various varieties have evolved, one of which, in this equivalent of the Early Cretaceous, is the leading lineage to flighted Crocodylormophs
#Spectember Day 15: Arboreal Crocodilian
This was another very straigthforward prompt. Crocodilians are neat!
Spectember day 11: speculative bertology (Sesame Street characters as plausible life forms)
Have I gone too far with this one?

#Spectember Day 13: Genital-less Life
Continuing from the Motocrab world, Machines here reproduce by Cauldron-esc factories that manufacture them, mainly for ecological maintenance. Some units would protect units, some would deliver data, and some would deliver resources
#Spectember Timeline #22911: Carnivorous thyreophoran:
In another time, at another place a young inexperienced tyranosaurid has chosen the wrong ankylosaurid to practice hunting on. For while mostly omnivorous. This beast of malice will rarely turn down a chance for live prey.
Spectember day 3: Mimicking invertebrate
“Drachen fly”

#Spectember Timeline #2297: Powered Flight snake.
In another time, at another place it takes off from the tree branch. Awkwardly flapping what appear to be large fins this snake's wings are actually specialized ribs that stretch out and are flexed by powerful muscles.
#Spectember Day 8
The Flying Bear is one of the most rarely seen creatures in the forests of Ibaria. With a diet of fruits, they spend their days gliding from tree to tree through the large forests, always attentive to their surroundings for possible predators in the region
#Spectember Day 7: Powered-Flight Snakes
An entirely weird lineage of terrestrial sarcopterygian of my Fantasy World, Quetzals are predators and omnivores that use multiple Fin-esc wings to continuously Fly, supported by cartilage, muscles, and ribs
Short Spectember to cool off. It's a Fancy Raptor... AKA Why it would've been a bad idea for humans to domesticate Raptors.
Inspired by Fancy Pigeons.

Spectember day 1: Durophagous
A semi aquatic heterodontosaur that feeds primarily on seafood crustaceans and mollusks.

Day 4 of #Spectember: Herbivorous Shark
The Speckled Lawnmower Shark is a species native to an oceanic world that was terraformed and seeded with various small shark species, among other organisms. Without competition, some evolved towards herbivory in the vast seagrass meadows
#Spectember but I'm just pulling a whole C.S Koseman on my friend's dog, Meg
Had to d something unique, as the next prompts were for pterosaurs I had to evolve Meg into a pterosaur adjacent and then have that evolve to live on land and sea
Day 3: Terrestrial Pterosaur
#Spectember days 3 and 4! I really love short faced pterosaurs so I wanted to base these on them.
Day 3 of #Spectember: Bipedal Ungulate
The Ruiter it's a browsing bipedal calicothere from a timeline where calicotheres made it into our times, like our timeline's okapi, this creature confided scientists for decades until its evolutionary relationships could be fully studied.
#Spectember Day 4: Aquatic Pterosaurs
In another era where the K/Pg extinction left a few Mesozoic dinos and other oddities to survive as well, new clades emerge to replace the old ones, including derived Pteranodontids filling new Marine Predator niches
#Spectember Day 3: Terrestrial Pterosaurs
Such beasts are unimaginable on the Western Landmass, for these Gryphons are the descendants of flightless terrestrial Pterosaurs
These beasts have both wild and domesticated varieties, the latter used akin to Zebu and Banteng Cattle
